Omschrijving

A sharp, audacious pulse runs through The Entailed Hat; or, Patty Cannon's Times, a window into a volatile era and a mirror for our own controversial age. This revival by Alpha Editions honours the fevered tempo of antebellum america, where rumour, power, and public outrage raged as loudly as the presses that fed them. Town and country, courthouse and street, are drawn in with a blend of historical fiction, political satire, and social commentary. Townsend's narrative gleams with nineteenth century sensationalism, exposing how media sensationalism can steer mob justice and shape a nation's conscience. Though set in the antebellum south, its themes travel beyond time-the fragile line between truth and spectacle, the hunger for spectacle, the toll of public verdicts rendered in a crowded marketplace of opinion. The book stands as a landmark in public domain classics, a work of enduring significance for library collections and classic lit readers alike. It invites both casual readers curious about a pivotal period and collectors who cherish nineteenth century america as a wellspring of literary craft. Selling points are explicit: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint-a collector's item and a cultural treasure for any serious library or reading circle. A true artefact of nineteenth century america, alive for contemporary minds.
